Actress Helen Hunt has shared that she was once mistaken for Jodie Foster during her visit to local Starbucks.
"Ordered my drink @Starbucks Asked the barista if she wanted my name. She winked and said. 'We gotcha' #JodieFoster," Hunt posted on Twitter and Instagram with a photo of her cup that read "Jody," the misspelled name of her supposed doppelganger: Jodie Foster.
This is not the first time these women in film have been misidentified for each other.
Though both Hunt, 52, and Foster, 53, are Oscar-winning actresses and have been in the industry for well over 40 years, the pair want to make it crystal clear they are two different people.
In a 1994 appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman", Hunt explained there were many times when she was mistaken for being Foster.
"My life has changed a little bit. I'm recognized now for being who I am, rather than: 'I went to college with you' or 'Did you used to date my cousin?' or 'Are you Jodie Foster?' - which I got for a long time," she had said.
